Chapter 151 Your Majesty, hold me, the tighter the better
Jiang Shuyi folded the letter left for Pei Yan into a very small piece, stuffed it into the finished "embroidered spring bag", and sewed the opening with needle and thread.
It was already very late when she finished all this. She tiptoed back to the inner hall and climbed back onto the bed. Looking at Pei Yan's silhouette in the dim curtain, which was exactly the same as before, she breathed a sigh of relief and obediently lay in his arms.

Because she went to bed late, it was already bright when Jiang Shuyi woke up the next day.
She was so scared that she sat up immediately, fearing that she would miss the time agreed with Taoist Wu.
"woke up?"
A familiar gentle voice was heard. Jiang Shuyi turned her head and saw Pei Yan, who had already changed into clothes for leaving the palace.
He was wearing a dark, low-cut, narrow-sleeved, round-collared robe with cranes flapping their wings embroidered on the hem with silver thread, and his hair crown had been changed to a folk style. He stood there handsome and tall, looking very much like an ordinary young man from aristocratic family.
Jiang Shuyi lowered her eyes to his clothes, and felt that he looked familiar.
After being stared at for a while, Pei Yan came over. He raised his right hand and wrapped his palm around half of Jiang Shuyi's face, stroking it gently. He lowered his eyes and looked at her tenderly: "The last time I left the palace with you, you chose it for me. Don't you remember?"
Jiang Shuyi felt that if she dared to say she didn't remember, Pei Yan would not just touch her face, but would pinch it hard.
She did remember it, and nodded quickly: "I remember, what time is it now? Is it too late to leave the palace?"
Pei Yan was displeased with her attitude.
Do you really want to leave him quickly?
He reached down and pinched her neck, causing Jiang Shuyi to shudder and shrink her neck to clamp his hand, then said lightly: "Even if it's too late, you have to finish your breakfast before leaving."
Jiang Shuyi had no time to eat, but Pei Yan's attitude was irreversible, and it seemed that she would not leave unless she ate. Jiang Shuyi could only reluctantly eat a bowl of porridge quickly, and then ate a piece of milk cake under Pei Yan's dissatisfied gaze.
After getting on the carriage, I still felt food-sucking and only felt better after drinking two sips of tea.
"Where are you going today?"
Pei Yan's voice returned to its gentle tone. Jiang Shuyi put down the teacup and looked up at him.
Now that he knew that he had not wasted any time, he calmed down and realized that Pei Yan in his black robe was very different from usual.
The dark color was serious, concealing his originally gentle and elegant demeanor, adding a sense of majesty, coldness and inviolability.
But this was only for others. Jiang Shuyi looked at him for a while, then couldn't help but rush over and hug him.
Pei Yan felt the warmth in his arms, lowered his head, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "What?"
Jiang Shuyi nudged him: "Your Majesty, don't say anything, just hold me, the tighter the better."
Pei Yan knew that she couldn't bear to leave him.
It has been like this for the past few days. Pei Yan enjoys it but also feels a little distressed.
He hugged Jiang Shuyi tightly as he was told, and said with a smile: "You have to tell me where you are going."
Jiang Shuyi hugged him silently for a while before letting go. She looked at Pei Yan, blinked, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face: "How about going to Manchunlou?"
Pei Yan knew that this was the beginning of the show.
His expression was slightly gloomy as he cooperated, and he looked at her: "Do you know where Manchunlou is?"
Jiang Shuyi quickly held his hand and shook it: "I know, I've been out of the palace several times and I'm tired of seeing the scenery in Beijing. The only thing I haven't been to is Manchun Tower, so I want to go and see it..."
Pei Yan: "No, if you get tired of it, go back to the palace."
Jiang Shuyi really hummed and acted like a spoiled child: "I'm just going in to take a look. I won't stay long, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Pei Yan wanted to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve, so he looked down at her coldly and said, "If you beg me again, I'll punish you."
Jiang Shuyi bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "I went to Manchunlou, but I actually had other thoughts..."
Pei Yan said "Oh?" and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Jiang Shuyi twisted his fingers back and forth, her ears flushed. "Your Majesty has been with me day and night recently, and I have done all the things that Nanny taught me, but I think... I think they are all too common, nothing new. I heard that there are many things in this kind of place, so I want to come and broaden my horizons..."
Pei Yan's face really looked a little bad this time.
His breathing slowed down, and he lifted Jiang Shuyi's jaw, pinching it: "How do you want to learn? Go watch them make dirty peace?"
Jiang Shuyi felt a little guilty and tried to avoid his gaze, but Pei Yan ordered her, "Look at me and speak."
She had to look at Pei Yan, but her eyelashes kept trembling, and she said nervously: "I won't read it. I'll just ask someone and get a few more books back..."
Pei Yan didn't let go, looking down at her, reminding her: "Don't look at men after you go in. Those people are filthy. Whatever you want to do, I will only give you a quarter of an hour. If you are still in that filthy place after a quarter of an hour, don't blame me for taking you back to the palace."
Jiang Shuyi nodded repeatedly.

Unlike some secret rooms that only opened at night, Manchunlou, as the largest place of entertainment in the capital, also had courtesans singing during the day and accompanying playboys in drinking and having fun.
Wearing women's clothes would be too conspicuous, so Pei Yan first took Jiang Shuyi to a clothing store to buy a set of men's clothes to change into.
When Jiang Shuyi took off the silk dress she wore when leaving the palace, the sachet embroidered with two little men fell out.
Only then did she remember that she almost forgot to give the sachet to Pei Yan.
There is a letter left for him inside.
Jiang Shuyi, helped by Fang Chu, put on a green robe and tied up her long black hair with a hairband of the same color. At first glance, she really looked like a handsome young man.
She touched the material on her body and was surprised: "It's so soft and fits me well."
Fang Chu smiled.
How could it not fit? Your Majesty is afraid that the outer fabric is too rough and would damage Your Majesty's delicate body, so this dress was made in the palace and sent here.
Jiang Shuyi picked up the sachet and went out.
When she saw Pei Yan, she smiled happily, walked forward and touched his waist.
Pei Yan's body tensed slightly, and considering the situation, he wanted to step back, but in the end he did not move.
She is going to leave me, and I feel sad, so I just let her do what she wants.
The next moment, Jiang Shuyi grabbed his belt and took out a colorful embroidered sachet with her other hand. Without waiting for his reaction, she hung it on his belt in two or three seconds.
Pei Yan stared at the sachet.
The background is royal blue satin. The woman is wearing a red nightgown and the man is wearing a moon-white robe and a hair crown embroidered with gold thread. The two of them are hugging each other tightly. Compared to their previous appearance without eyebrows, this time the man's expression is gentle. The woman's profile is exposed in his arms, her eyes are looking at the man, and her cheeks are a little red.
The redness on her cheeks doesn't look like embroidery, it should be dyed with rouge.
Probably to refute what he said before that it looked like an embroidered sachet, Jiang Shuyi also deliberately embroidered a pavilion, a pond and lotus flowers on the back, symbolizing that they were outside and the two could not do anything.
To be fair, Pei Yan was moved.
Jiang Shuyi put so much thought into this sachet that she was in such a hurry to finish it that she pricked her fingers twice.
But he still untied it.
Facing Jiang Shuyi's puzzled look, he calmly stated: "It would be better to kill me than to let me carry this with you through the streets."
